We had an email from our lost & found saying there is a missing cat out of our area in Palm Bay, Margate. The owner is worried as there are reports of a Puma-like creature in the area :scared:

Wow.
My sister saw the fen 'tiger' one night in Cambridgeshire. She finds it hard to believe anything like this until an enormous cat with a massive tail strolled in front of her car :scared: She though it was a panther.

The Clan cats Panther is also still at home currently playing laser pen!
We have a big vat here to in the woods several neighbours have seen it and I did see tracks in the snow! :shocked:

That is so cool....not for the smaller wildlife, obviously! :)

Yep. We have one too. It's called The Beast of Bluebell Hill. Curiously, it only ever seems to be spotted by people returning from nights out early in the morning (hmmmm - :Crazy: ?). Usually it's described as being black and about the size of a labrador (so, it's a black labrador then?). I read somewhere that Kent is supposed to have a breeding colony of various big cats happily cross-breeding with each other. Personally, I file this sort of thing (eg crop circles) under "loony crap that the papers endorse when short on stories". We have a very large stray dog (looks like a greyhound/borzoi cross) who has been in the area for a couple of years. He can't be caught because he is too wily and ranges right across the Rochester area, only at night or in the early morning. I very occasionally see him (3 or 4 times a year) as I leave for work and walk a mile and half to Rochester at about 5am. I think he may well be taking cats, as a couple have disappeared recently - not sure what can be done about him as he ranges over such a wide area. I suppose his luck will have to run out at some point.
